Are there new episode missions?

[tdonaghe]

If so where and who with?

I've seen a few people mention them, but nothing conclusive.

[Derity]

Nope...

Not yet, they added pursuits, but that's it for the moment.

IMO, if they want to keep the connection with the show intact, (Let's face it, the show may what saves the game in the long run), then the most important thing should have been to get Episode missions in to tie in with the next episode of the show. Almost everything else in today's patch is low priority vs. keeping episode missions on time and in sync.

I have this awful feeling that at some point in the run of the show, Syfy will end up suing Trion for some breach of contract related to promised show tie ins, which would be a much bigger deal than looking for things to nerf and ways to make people chose between paying more in the cash shop or quitting the game.

I agree that it could be a real issue for Trion doesn't keep up with episode missions but I feel like being sued from Syfy would come later down the line seeing how this game is still being fleshed out (as poorly as people may think). Also if I remember right there was a commercial or trailer that said the show or game could be enjoyed separately and I think that's one thing people seem to be forgetting. The game is not the show, nor is the show the game. By that logic it feels as if Syfy and Trion are just sharing the rights to the show and doing what they want with it. The fact that we even get episode missions should be somewhat of a bonus compared to getting the game working right first.

Why the heck is anyone buying anything in the defiance store? There is absolutely nothing there worth the money they're asking... Plus the fact that the dlc is just new aliens races, weapons and clothing or some other junk that has nothing to do with the gameplay. The missions will be free and the zones free. I love playing as an irathient and just love pointlessly killing things. Why the hell do people give such a value on in-game items or how to dress up a non-existant figment of their imagination that could go poof the second the servers go down or worse if the hard drives were to melt to an emp.

BTW I was a beta tester and played till the end of COH and know from experience things will just go poof no matter how much money you put into it. Though this isn't the reason for the post it's the fact that I know any mmo will die it's just a matter of how long it'll take.

Oh guess it got off-topic but the episode missions will continue on time. They don't tell us when the time is and people need to stop thinking rumors are what trion stated. Give me proof that they said they'll release them on specific dates and i'll believe you with the proof. Other than that this is just a rant no different than the crazy amount of posts saying the patch was supposed to be on monday when NO one from trion stated the date when it was to be released.

Well, one would hope and assume that episode missions would tie in with each of the remaining 11/12 episodes and Defiance does air it's next episode this coming Monday. If they couldn't pull that off and it doesn't tie in with every episode, that would be very poorly done on the part of Trion.

there are some new pursuits and data recorders

[Ashnon]

The new pursuits do tie in with the Pilot episode, but only slightly. Armistice day in the show and in the game. There are however no new missions.
